Blancpain Unveils Its Third and Final Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Limited-Edition
Only 555 examples are made.
Earlier this year, Blancpain unveiled the second act Fifty Fathoms timepiece in celebrating its 70th anniversary. Over the weekend, the horologer revealed the Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3 limited-edition time-teller, the third and final piece to its commemorative lineup.
From the matte black dial, and unidirectional rotating bezel to the vintage Super-LumiNova®-enhanced moisture indicator, and hour markers, the new limited edition watch possesses many of the original MIL-SPEC model’s identifiable features. Attired in a 41.3mm satin-brushed case made of 9k bronze gold, the watch offers a higher resistance to oxidation thanks to its gold-infused materiality. In line with the overall color scheme, the timepiece is paired with a woven NATO strap in black and gold.
When fully wound, the reference is capable of running up to 100 hours via its 1154.P2 caliber. The automatic movement is geared with a silicon balance spring for added anti-magnetic resistance for up to 1000 gauss, which also marks the first time the watchmaker offered a caliber with this specification.
Priced at $32,000 USD, the Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act 3 timepiece is offered in a limited run of 555 examples only. Those who are interested can enquire about its availability via Blancpain’s official website.
